QUESTION on tire size, personally think the 265/30 is too low profile, would I be ok with 275/35 considering suspension is stock? Will there be any rubbing on any part of the vehicle?

275/35R19 will fit per several reports here.
I am planning to get this size when OEM tires wear out.
Probably DWS 06+

Damn just looked at prices, the stock tires are like $334/tire
The 275 35 19s are $285/tire.

Are there any other brands that are good. I'm assuming DWS 06+ are pretty solid choice, right?

Michelin Pilot Sport All Season but I believe that it is more expensive
Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season won 2026 Tire Rack test about the same price as DWS 06+ but it is new so less long-term owner data

Most other tires offer lower performance at about the same price (or even higher)

Few are cheaper, about $250/tire

Good info thank you so much for sharing. Now I know what I'm not looking forward to when the time comes.

Found some great condition OEM Red Interior floor mats for $180 shipped.
They look great red on red

I can assure you that the DWS 06+ is a little more quiet than the OE tire. I have the OE size on mine265/30. I didn’t want to be jumping hoops trying to reinvent the wheel. I installed even 19x9.5 +50 on the offset, not +45 like everyone else; I don’t like the way the wheel pokes out. Also, nobody near me installed the reverse mount required on the OEM wheel. I put 600 miles a little bit more weekly on the I35 and the DSW06+ are really good.

The stock specs are interesting, such low profile.

• Wheel Size: 19 x 9.5 inches
• Wheel Offset: +60 mm
• Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x120 mm (center bore: 64.1 mm)
• Tire Size: 265/30ZR19 93Y (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S)

I like the beefier look, most likely will go with the DWS 06+ 275/35ZR19.
I don't really plan on lowering the car, but who knows lol.

Yes, I shared your situation until one tire was damaged by the dealer during mounting, as they struggled with the reverse mount. Around 30,000 miles, if I recall correctly, the original alignment is aggressive for everyday driving. You cannot adjust the car much without altering a few components; in my case, I installed PRL rigid collars that set the front alignment to the same specification after lowering it, and I now run –1.7, if memory serves, whereas I previously had –2.2. I recorded all the specifications in my journal, but even at the rear, fixing the setup for less aggression requires adjustable toe arms.

I am at –1.5 and 8 degrees of total toe because the tires would wear out quickly, which is why I chose to lower the car and use different wheels while keeping the original size.

That previous owner must've really taken out a lot. Those also came stock, I keep mine under the trunk weather mat

Also the PS4S was like $260/tire last year ‍

Thanks for the information, I recall going down this rabbit hole before when I was trying to fit 245s in my civic si while dropped on Teins and I had enkei 17x9 wheels.

Hm there are black type R floor mats and they look bigger than the red ones I just received. They look bulkier..
